A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security.
Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in.

Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials.
"This case was extremely regrettable. I would like to deeply apologise," said Narita International Airport's customs head Manpei Tanaka.

Hello? Customs? This is John Doe, and after going through Customs in your uber-strict anti-pot country I found over a QP of dank in my suitcase. Would you like me to return it, or just send a Thank-You note?

[weeeeeee]

[weed4all]

"no officer, thats not my weed, the japanese customs agents just stashed it in my bag as part of a training exercise"

Seriously, what would happen if they came to the U.S. then and had to go through customs and got caught how the hell would they explain there way outta that? Id wanna hurt someone if that happened to me, cause you know our customs are not going to be like oh so someone just happened to put 5 oz of pot in your suitcase, thats ok well take it from here have a nice day.

I would like to think that Japan officials would communicate to other Custom branches. Telling info such as where the flight was coming from, how much dope was planted, and how it could be found such as wrapping etc.

Oh what a PITA tho...lol

Id like to think so to, but could you imagine how the person would feel if another customs worker would ask to empty your bag and you would pull that out holy shit! lmfao

Just goes to show you that all governments are equally operated by idiots.

I think they should stash a bag like that in the suitcase of everyone who isn't on a connecting flight. Talk about a way to stimulate tourism AND help everybody mellow out after a long trip!


Actually, I think the officer must've smoked it and needed to cover his ass, or at least he probably smoked some of it... "now where the hell did I put the rest of that training weed?"
